Not a radio issued by Philco, it has one of the compact prewar Transitone chassis inside a coin-op cabinet made by a different manufacturer. The radio was obviously modified to operate with the coin-op mechanism. The loop antenna isn't even original.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
